Book review: “Where She Went” by Gayle Forman: Three years fast forward from Mia’s horrific accident where she lost her mom, dad and little brother Teddy. Three years since she chose to stay, but not with Adam. Mia headed for the Big Apple to take on her dream. Adam is now a famous Hollywood punk rock star thanks to his famous actress girlfriend and Mia’s a rising star at Julliard. With fate being on their side, Adam ends up in New York for a night before his 67-night tour around the world. Knowing what he is stirring up, he decides to attend one of Mia’s shows. Thinking he could secretly blend into the crowd, Mia notices Adam and has him brought backstage. With one last chance to get all their feelings out, they take on New York for the night and pay a visit to their past. — by Kayla Grijalva Donations: Our thanks to the estate of Steven Hughes, Teisha Saw- yer and Delyla and Olen, and to Karen Quigley for their contributions to the library collection.
